MY WESTFIELD BUILD
Stage 3
|
|
The Prop shaft was installed and exhaust was assembled and bolted up to the Range Rover manifolds(easy if you say it fast enough!!). |
|
I was then able to trial fit the bonnet and nosecone "just to see what it looked like"! |
 |
Now a slight problem arose , due to the close fitting nature of the Westfield chassis the original waterpump could not be used (too long!). I was told by Westfield ("many thanks to Chris on their helpline!") that I would have to obtain an old P6 Rover water pump as they are more compact. Once more Real Steel came to the rescue supplying me with one within three days "great". But now I realised that I also needed a P6 crank pulley and a waterpump pulley, I managed to find a crank pulley but after searching for ages for the pump pulley I ended up making one myself.

Machining
w/pump pulley. (could'nt get one)
|
|
Pulley on and alternator sorted out. |
 |
|
|
With all the inside of the transmission tunnel completed (wiring loom,propshaft,reversing light switch and handbrake switch) I could finish off riveting the ally panels. |
|
The clocks were then assembled into the dash and wired up to the necessary senders and the backlighting for the dials (glad I'm not colour blind!). |
 |
|
|
Windscreen was fitted (more measuring) internal side panels rivetted in place ,wiper boxes and screen fillet installed and the carpets trimmed and fitted. |
|
Seats and seat belts installed. |

Smug mode
